Can’t Stop the Signal: Adam Baldwin to Guest Star on CASTLE

A couple of weeks ago I had to go to Dallas for work and ended up being sick the whole time. Like, fever-stuffy-head-lost-my-voice-right-before-my-presentation sick. So when I wasn’t in meetings trying to avoid infecting other people, I was in my hotel room watching [easyazon-link asin=”B0000AQS0F”]Firefly[/easyazon-link] on Netflix for the umpteenth time because it makes me feel better. Why is this relevant?

Because Adam Baldwin is guest starring in an episode of Castle later this spring. Captain Tightpants and the Man Called Jayne, together again.

Per TV Guide, Adam will reunite with his Firefly co-star when he guests as a detective named Ethan Slaughter. Slaughter is part of the NYPD gang unit, and he’s not averse to utilizing the “dirtier side” of police work to get the job done. When he lands a case that Castle wants in on, the partnership puts Castle in danger like never before

It sounds like this episode starts filming in the next couple of weeks, so watch for it to air in April. We’ll post as soon as more info is available.

  1. Closest thing we’ll get to Chuck in a LONG TIME. I will definitely be watching this!

  2. I’ve always found Castle to be pretty dull, good acting, but it’s just so—procedural. However, for Mr. Baldwin, I’ll be happy to make an exception and watch.

    Anyone catch the life size cardboard cutout of Zach Levi as Chuck on the Office tonight? Another show I don’t usually watch, but I saw the cold open just after Parks and Rec ended, and it was pretty funny.

  3. Sweet! I don’t watch Castle but I’ll really try to watch this for Adam.

  4. Big Firefly, Castle, and, of course, AB fan here. I’m all a-tizzy. 😀

  5. Did everyone catch all the Chuck references on last nights episode of The Office?

  6. Strangely, a lot of my friends think Chuck and Jim look similar…

    Excellent news! A friend and I have been saying for some time that Adam would be an excellent guest star on ‘Castle’!

    Awesome!

  8. What would be really cool would be if Adam and Nathan could reverse roles on the radio gag they did in the Serenity episode. Maybe it could be while wearing a “wire.”

    • This is inspired.

      • Thanks.

        Back in seasons 1 and 2 of Castle Nathan used to throw us a couple of tie-ins (like the Halloween costume and the chinese language joke) and I’d always crack up. With this guest visit it would be a great opportunity for a couple of shout outs. They could mention that Castle and Adam’s character worked together 8-10 years ago and maybe Adam could say that he’s been on the west coast for the last five years doing some undercover work. Or maybe they could throw in a double entendre about Castle’s last name (vis-a-vis the base in Chuck). Stuff like that. After all that’s what writers do.

  9. Absolutely Awesome !!!!!!!! 🙂

  10. great news for adam, it should be a good episode. he is a really fine actor and i wish him and the rest of the chuck cast all the best….. long live chuck……

  11. This is a good gig for Baldwin, Hope he is a recurring visitor to Castle. I consider Castle’s writers a notch below Closer and a notch above Chuck.

  12. Cool. Love Castle, Nathan Fillion, Firefly, and Adam Baldwin. i think its a great idea to have guest stars on a show from another show. It helps the audience see their favorite actor in more than one role. Awesome.

    Love to see Ben Browder (Farscape, Stargate, Dr. Who) guest start on Castle.
